OUR PRODUCT RANGE
Labels for Eyeglasses
Labels for marking eyeglass frames, lenses and as eyeglass passes
Today, the eyewear assortment of an optician store, in eyewear wholesales or at the manufacturer's is managed via software. Accordingly, eXtra4 concentrates on offering eyeglass labels that can be inscribed with computer-controlled data via label printers. In most cases a thermal transfer printer is used.Of course, our eyeglass labels can also be marked manually. Forms especially suitable for handwriting are marked separately. Pay attention to this sign for manual marking:
The ideal label for opticians
What opticians want from a eyeglass label is almost always the same: it should carry the price and all important information, but be as small as possible. It should be reliably attachable to the spectacles, be easy to remove if necessary, and then be possibly attached again. The lettering must not fade in sunlight or heat. It must survive the multiple fitting of glasses by customers undamaged. And last but not least, the labelling of glasses should be as easy as possible. - Our solutions are as varied as requirements placed on optician's labels.Individual Labels for Eyeglasses

The Eyeglass Label
- as a selective offer
Our stock range of spectacle labels concentrates on a few particularly popular shapes. If you are looking for different solutions, we recommend to include our stock offer for jewellery labels in your selection. Especially with loop labels, the range is particularly large for jewellery.Our catalogue for shapes and dimensions provides an overview of tailored shapes we have already produced for spectacles and which are available as tools ready for production.
Eyeglass Temple Labels
Labels for gluing into the frame temples of spectacles
This type of eyeglass label is affixed lengthwise to the frame temple. The labels are usually extremely narrow, because they have to fit as many different frames as possible. They are often arranged in pairs so that both temples can be labeled together: on one label the barcode, on the other the product data and price.The narrow shape requires a small adhesive area. To ensure that the labels still adhere reliably, we manufacture eyeglass temple labels exclusively with permanent adhesive.
Eyeglass Labels with Loop
Loop labels for spectacle frames of any kind
Eyeglass labels with loop are very well adaptable to spectacle frames with varying temple sizes, because the loop can be fixed in variable lengths. They are available in two basic shapes: with marking areas crosswise or lengthwise to the loop.
Self-adhesive loops are often explicitly required for labelling spectacle frames. The labels can thus be fixed to the temple and do not run the risk of accidentally sliding down. However, special emphasis is placed on a loop without glue if remnants of glue on the frame are to be avoided. Our range of eyeglass labels with a loop therefore includes labels with adhesive and non-adhesive loop.
Loop labels are also very popular for labelling jewellery. A large selection of these shapes can customers from the optics section therefore find in the jewellery section.
Eyeglass Temple Riders
Labels to slide onto frame temples
Eyeglass temple riders are made of 300µm thick rigid PVC, are not self-adhesive and available in white or transparent.The label is stiff yet flexible enough to allow temples of various sizes and shapes to be easily inserted through the two openings. The material tension and the serrated edges of the openings ensure a good fit on the temples. Nevertheless, the label remains movable and can be repositioned as required.
Eyeglass temple riders made of rigid PVC are suitable as carriers for self-adhesive labels which are marked in the label printer. Suitable rectangular shapes can be found in our range for eyeglass labels and also in the area of pad labels for jewellery, however, eyeglass temple riders can also easily be written on by hand directly with permanent markers.
Eyeglass Lens Labels
Labels for labelling spectacle lenses
Labels used to apply to spectacle lenses should ideally be removable without leaving any residues. Glueless adhesion material is therefore ideal for eyeglass lens labels. It sticks reliably to smooth surfaces such as cut glass or plastics, without the use of any glue.Adhesive eyeglass lens labels can be produced in any shape. They can be individually markeded in a thermal transfer printer as well as professionally printed, even in a glossy metallic look.
Passes for Eyeglasses
Card labels as individually printable passports for glasses
Eyeglass passports consist of a non-self-adhesive foil compound. They are punched into the continous web as card labels via microperforation. Along these fine dividing lines, the eyeglass passes in credit card style can later be separated one by one from the web. Smooth and flexible, with a glossy surface, the cards are well in hand.
The imprint of individual data of the respective eyeglasses takes place in the thermal transfer label printer. We recommend our label printing software "eXtra4" with corresponding layouts for controlling the printout.
The front side of the eyeglass passes can be designed representative in any corporate design. The preprint is produced using professional printing. We produce large print runs of 5,000 pieces or more using analogue processes. We offer a low-cost solution for small runs from 250 or more eyeglass passes via 4-colour digital printing.
Labels for Watches
Labels for marking watch cases, watch straps and wristwatches of all kinds
The eXtra4 range of watch labels focuses on the labelling of wristwatches. In general, our wide range of jewellery labels can be used for the labelling of wristwatches. Among the various label types in the jewellery segment, there are solutions such as labels with loop, labels with thread or label combinations, the dimensions of which are already suitable for wristwatches and can be used as watch labels without further changes.Special labels for wristwatches
Certain requirements concerning watches make specific watch labels necessary: A watch collection should be labelled with one and the same label despite the fact that it has wristbands of different widths; leather and metal of watch bands must not come into contact with adhesive; watch cases must be labelled directly without damage - special cases of this kind require special solutions. Then eXtra4 proves to be a creative partner for the development of a reliable watch label with its diverse production possibilities and comprehensive know-how.Individual labels for watches
Custom-made examples for watch labels
The watch label - an exclusive solution
Labels for watches are usually manufactured individually to the customer's special requirements. Labels exclusively for wristwatches are therefore only occasionally available from stock. However, it is possible that particularly popular jewellery label shapes are also suitable for watches. We therefore recommend interested parties to also consider our stock range of jewellery labels for watches.Our catalogue for shapes and dimensions offers a more extensive selection of watch labels. It shows which special shapes we have already manufactured for watches and which are available as tools ready for production.
Labels for watch cases
Labels for watch back and watch glass
Watch labels for the case back usually have a round shape. Our stock assortment consists of white or transparent plastic foil composite, which can be marked with individual data in the thermal transfer printer. Two different adhesive variants are available: permanent adhesive or removable.For rectangular shapes, please see our range of labels for pads in the jewellery sector.
We use watch labels without adhesive as scratch protection for watch glass, watch back and complete watch cases. The transparent plastic material adheres by adhesion and can therefore be removed and repositioned without leaving any residue. Text or logos can also be printed here.
Leather strap labels
Labels for watchstraps made of leather
Leather strap labels are used both for labelling a complete watch and for labelling separate, unmounted watch straps without watch cases.They usually have the shape of a loop label. To prevent staining or soiling the leather, the loop is kept glue-free.The leather strap label is attached by looping the label loop around the first strap loop, gluing the loop tip into the label fields before folding and inserting the folded label under the second strap loop. Labels for leather watch straps in special sales packaging are developed custom-made for each manufacturer or retailer according to the requirements of the relevant POS system.
Leather strap labels ideally consist of tear-resistant plastic material composite with permanent adhesive. This ensures that the label can withstand multiple presentations of a watch during sales without damage.
Labels for leather watch straps have a particularly representative effect with an imprint in coporate colours of the manufacturer or retailer and can be imprinted with individual prices, barcodes or other data in the label printer via thermal transfer printing.
Metal strap labels
Label for watch straps made of metal
Metal watch straps traditionally have been labelled with wrappers made of paper laminated with aluminium foil. They could be shaped like metal, i.e. simply adapted to the bandwidth, kept, once bent, their shape and were fitted firmly without any glue. Today this type of material is no longer available for cost and environmental reasons, but could also not be printed with individual data.
Today, banderoles made of adhesive materials, such as self-adhesive plastic films and papers, replace the legacy label type. In contrast to aluminium-paper wrappers, modern metal watchband labels can be printed as required - with logo imprint in specific corporate colours and with individual data including barcode via a thermal transfer label printer.
To a certain extent, the bands can also be adapted to different widths of watch bands. After printing, labels for metal watchbands are folded in the middle and both halves are glued together. Folded in this way, a strip remains adhesive on one side of the label. Now the banderole is placed around the watch band, shortened as required and closed with the still adhesive end.
Watch labels with loop
Labels with loop for wristwatches
Tradicional jewellery labels with loop are also suitable for labelling watches. An overview of the different shapes and sizes can be found in the jewellery section under the heading loop labels.Watch labels for threads
Labels with thread for wristwatches
From the range of tags in the jewellery sector, labels type "WrapTag" in combination with security threads are particularly recommended for labelling high-quality watches.With self-adhesive thread labels of WrapTag shape, two additional label areas made of glossy, transparent film enclose the printed labelling fields as soon as the label has been folded. The tag looks heavier, is stronger and is less susceptible to dirt, damage or manipulation. WrapTags are also suitable with inserted transponders as part of an RFID solution.
WrapTags can be reliably fastened with security threads from our product range. Security threads consist of tear-resistant synthetic fibre cord with a special locking mechanism. Once closed, the lock cannot be reopened.
Of course, other labels with thread from the jewellery section can also be used to label watches.
Label combinations for wristwatches
Combination of different shapes to a label set for watches
Wristwatches from the upmarket segment often have individual, high-quality boxes. For labelling, this means that watch and box must be labelled with a matching label. Label sets from our range of label combinations for jewellery are particularly recommended for this purpose.Labe combinations unite different types of labels on the carrier web to form a set of shapes so that this can be marked with data simultaneously in a single printing process. The label set combines very different shapes, usually a loop label with a rectangular shape. However, combinations with other label types, such as thread labels, are also possible.
Security labels for watches
Tamper proof watch labels
Security labels for wristwatches protect against manipulations. They are useful wherever expensive original watches are threatened to be replaced by inferior counterfeits, i.e. in goods traffic in general or in an event of trick thefting during sale. In commerce, especially online, security labels can be used preventively against returns fraud: With a clear worded imprint, they prevent consumers from wearing watches, then returning them and reclaiming the price.
Security labels destroy themselves even at the slightest attempt to remove, open or reposition them. Their self-destructive material splits into layers, falls into tiny particles or tears. The label can therefore never be reassembled and reattached again or to other goods. Holograms and black light printing additionally increase the protective effect. They make the label forgery-proof.
Security labels can be produced in any shape, for example as loop labels, but also in any other label shape suitable for wristwatches
Further technical details on security labels can be found in our separate section Security Labels / Guard Labels.
Labels with transponders as part of an RFID system offer a completely different kind of protection. Due to the necessary interventions in the sales organisation, we recommend an RFID solution only after detailed consultation. Interested parties can find a first insight into RFID technology under RFID Labels.
Chain labels / jewellery labels for chains and necklaces
The function of jewellery labels for chains and necklaces must take into account that chains are generally stored hanging. Chain labels therefore require an opening for the suspension device. In addition, chain labels must be strong enough to carry a certain weight without being damaged over time.
Individual Labels for Chains and necklaces
Custom-made examples for chain labels
We will be happy to develop a label solution for your chains according to your requirements. If they are to be labelled using label printers, we can colour and print the materials in question as required, even with glossy foil embossing. Labels made of stiff materials, such as cardboard or plastic, are unsuitable for label printers, but can also be individually designed to be attractive.
When choosing your label, please pay attention to the adjacent symbol. Labels for Chains marked in this way can only be inscribed with individual data by hand or be covered with correspondingly printed labels. They do not work in the label printer.
The carrier label as an alternative solution
Traditional chain labels made of cardboard or rigid PVC still enjoy great popularity due to their stability, but cannot be electronically marked with individual data of the piece of jewellery. As an alternative to manual marking, it is possible to use them as a carrier for an adhesive label that has been incribed by using a label printer.Chain labels with colour code
In order to be able to manage and organise the range of chains more clearly, manufacturers and dealers often use colour coding. We therefore stock labels with pre-printed colour coding in blue, red, yellow and green as standard. Chain labels with colour coding are available both as self-adhesive shapes for label printers and made of rigid PVC for manual marking or as carrier labels.

Security Labels / Guard Labels
Labels to protect against tampering,
counterfeiting and returns fraud
Guard labels help prevent. Nobody can take them off and reattach them unnoticed, because they destroy themselves irreversibly when they are removed. Security labels are not undetectably interchangeable with imitations because they have features that make them unique and counterfeit-proof. Guard labels speak a clear language, because they signal unmistakably:abuse of consumer rights. Security labels avert damage - especially also in e-commerce.
Labels with multiple benefits
Guard labels can be produced as loop labels, but also in any other shape. Despite their special features, they can be printed with any data as standard labels using a thermal transfer printer. For example, a security label can be used for price marking or as a representative seal to guarantee the pristine original condition of a branded product. Individually combined, various protection factors result in a label with a unique character.Individual security labels / Guard labels
Custom-made solutions with various protection features
The security label - one-of-a-kind
The essential aspect of a security label is its inimitability. Every label wants to be safe in form and function from resourceful counterfeiters. That's why we hardly stock any standard security labels.Which type of label you choose depends entirely on your application. The full range of our production tools listed in our catalogue for shapes and dimensions is available for you to choose from.
Security Labels / Guard Labels made of self-destructing material
Material with sealing effect
Self-destructive material gives a security label seal character. The slightest attempt to open, remove and reposition an equivalent security label after first application will irrevertibly destroy it. Depending on its quality, it splits into layers, crubles into minute particles or rips.Which destruction effect occurs depends on the material used and how it is processed. For example, punching at certain, particularly sensitive points of the label shape can additionally support the already existing tearing tendency. The detachability of the label from the carrier web and its ease of application must not be restricted.
Brochure GUARD LABELS:
Security labels / Guard labels with hologram
Protection in a representative look
A hologram increases the counterfeit protection. So replacing the original security label by an imitation on possibly counterfeited goods is made difficult.Prefabricated holographic foils with a standardised security note or symbol, e.g. a lock, are used. For special security requirements it is possible to have individual hologram material produced. If you are not afraid of kost and effort, you can integrate your company logo or your own warning statement.
The use of holographic foil does not restrict the further use of the security label, for example in price labelling. Holographic patches can be printed on with standard thermal transfer printers in scratch-proof quality and resistant to ultrasonic bath.
Security Labels / Guard Labels with blacklight-sensitivity
Hidden counterfeit protection
Blacklight-sensitive print on a security label remains invisible in daylight and artificial light. As known from the authenticity control of money bills, black-light sensitive areas can only be detected under a special lamp. In principle, blacklight-sensitiv printing can be overprinted with individual data via thermal transfer printer.
Blacklight-sensitive printing is done with prefabricated foils. Three different film types are possible:
The first film type shows a readable print image under normal light conditions, like any standard print. In addition, a standardized pattern visible only under black light appears within the printed areas.
The second option uses a film that prints exclusively blacklight-sensitive. The printed image created in this way, e.g. company logos or texts, can therefore only be seen illuminated accordingly.
As a third version, the complete security label is covered with a blacklight-sensitive laminate. Blacklight then illuminates the entire label surface, but not the data imprint.
Security Labels / Guard Labels with warning instruction
Protection through clear words
Returning worn or used goods with reference to the right of return and reclaiming the price paid is widespread, especially in e-commerce. Here plain text helps to put bazen consumers in their place. A warning message on the security label clarifies unmistakably: Anyone who removes the label exceeds his authority and commits himself to purchase.If the label is too small for text, a symbol, e.g. a security lock, can also signal the seal character of the label. This makes it immediately clear that if the security label is missing or damaged, the consumer has forfeited his right to a return.
Brochure GUARD LABELS:
Threads with the security plus
For increased security requirements, we can also recommend the use of security threads from our range of fastening accessories. The threads consist of a tear-resistant textile cord and have a snap lock. Once closed, the special mechanism cannot be opened again. The thread must be cut to remove the label.Security threads are used with self-adhesive tags or thread labels. They are particularly representative when combined with self-adhesive thread labels of the WrapTag type. With this type of label, two additional transparent areas wrap the label as soon as it is folded.
RFID Labels with transponder
A labeling solution with an integrated transponder means realigning a company's entire structure to use RFID technology. The implementation of RFID is associated with considerable organizational, software and hardware costs. Therefore, this technology is particularly recommended in the high-price segment and especially where certain processes can be significantly accelerated.
Once RFID technology is installed, it offers comprehensive control over all goods movements and a considerable gain in security - both externally and internally.
More detailed information on RFID can be found in the RFID Labels section. Contact us directly and let us advise you personally.
